Grade a RC 1/1?

anthonyhdo · 11-25-2022, 04:01 PM

Do you see any benefit in grading a rookie 1/1 for resale, or does it even matter?

The card would grade a 9, in my opinion.

20% will tell you no if it's not Gem.
30% will tell you it doesn't matter.
10% will respond that they don't grade anything and prefer all cards raw.
40% will say, "Definitely grade it. It will reduce your liability to chargebacks, eBay's new Authentication process, and make it easier for your family to sell if you ever die."

This is so spot on

Just don't use HGA like I did, and it is acceptable.

The Zac Gallen 1/1 will stay in this slab forever as a tribute to Tyler Hitt.

Unless it’s one of the few key 1/1’s that actually matter for each player, your 1/1 is competing against all the other 1/1’s out there. And there’s a lot. Grade it.

I personally like my cards in slabs. 1/1 included. If you care about the grade not being a 10 potentially, you could just get it authenticated
